Martin slams 'scandalous' two-year waiting list for kids with disabilities in Cork

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin pointed to the fact that 864 children are awaiting an assessment in Cork.

Children with special needs in Cork are being denied access to crucial services because of two-year waiting lists for an initial assessment of their condition.

Waiting times for an assessment of need, the first step in accessing appropriate services, have been described as scandalous.
